->"Do you know, Watson, before we came here, I had always been mystified as to how Tesla had managed to survive up till now in his chosen career. The man is a genius, certainly, but often lacking in self-restraint – as we have already witnessed! – and his is a profession where recklessness is usually rewarded by a flash of white light and a one-way ticket to the mortuary.The answer, however, has since become a great deal clearer."

But it seems even he had no idea of just how badly he wanted to be able to stop running altogether...''
